Durham Region has many affordable and subsidized housing programs.
We can help you with:
- Finding housing.
- Preventing an eviction.
- Contacting an emergency shelter.
| Emergency shelter programs |
|
You can stay at an emergency shelter if you have lost your housing and have no other place to stay. The Region of Durham does not have emergency housing other than through the emergency shelters. You will need to ask the shelter for information about staying there. Shelter beds will be given to people who live in Durham first. All of the homelessness programs in Durham Region must follow the Housing Services Act and its regulations. Visit our emergency shelters page to learn more. You can also find more information about emergency shelters for victims of violence or abuse. |
